    Not an especially charming or friendly take on the genre, FortressCraft Evolved has a lot of depth and potential for the dedicated player.

    Few games have held my attention as long as FortressCraft: Evolved! From the early days building on the Xbox version to the logisticsFew games have held my attention as long as FortressCraft: Evolved! From the early days building on the Xbox version to the logistics masterpiece that it has grown into on PC there's literally hundreds of hours of entertainment to be had. I've clocked over 700 hours as of this review having recently started my 10th or so progression world. Every time you play through it grows and changes with the regular patch cycle as player feedback helps shape the game.

    The game can be thought of as a mix of Minecraft and Factorio but there are elements of other games like TDs and if you're familiar with Creeper World then you absolutely must get the recently released expansion which plays a lot like defense against the Creeper.

    The game is largely focused on logistics and automation with lesser focuses on exploration and combat. Where it shines is the almost unlimited ways that problems can be solved with the almost uncountable machines at your disposal. Last I checked there's several hundred unique machines in the game.

    Just recently the game has added mod support and Steam Workshop is due to release next week (August 2016). The modding API is great to work with and I've released several mods of my own. It was easy to learn (I didn't even know C# before I started!) and there's a great community of modders eager to help others learn. With the Workshop comes easy access to downloading and installing mods that opens up new machine options that can be easily added into any world.

    This just touches on a few of the great aspects of the game. To go into detail on everything would take pages more. I can only recommend checking it out for yourself. It easy qualifies as one of my favorite games of all time.    … Full Review »

Fortresscraft Evolved! is what you would get if you put Minecraft, Factorio, and Defense Grid into a blender. Though it is awesome, this game is not for those who are easily discouraged. But if you've got the right stuff you will be amazed at what this game's systems allow you to do. One of the Steam Achievements is to smelt 1 million metal bars. This would be ludicrous in any other game and you will think it's crazy when you start off, but once you are smelting 100, then 200, then 500 bars per minute it will almost seem trivial. The developer is a bit eccentric, but he keeps adding to the game, improving it and expanding it. If you are brave you can sign up for the "bleeding edge" build which updates every 2 or 3 days giving a near constant stream of new machines, balance tweaks, and new features. For the less crazy, the game receives a major update about once a month that is more stable and polished. This is the best value for money of any game I've played in the past 2 years.… Full Review »

    This one is 2016's highlight for me. I'm 180 hours and loving it.

    Cross over between Factorio and Minecraft, with more depth then both game combined.

    NOT super-user friendly. A little slow at start.
    But never insults the gamer's intelligence.
    So many things to try/explore/discover.

    Also worth mentionning that it is developped by a single guy who streams (Youtube) 100% of his progress on the game.

    Love it.    … Full Review »
